On a similar subject, I think this opinion piece by Sally Rooney in the Guardian makes a very good point:
On 20 June, in what has now become an appallingly familiar story, Israeli forces once again opened fire on Palestinians at an aid distribution site, this time killing 23 people. The same day, it was revealed that activists affiliated with the UK group Palestine Action had broken into an RAF base and defaced two military aircraft in an act of protest. One of these actions involved the intentional use of lethal violence against civilians, resulting in the deaths of 23 loved and irreplaceable human beings. The other involved no violence against any living things and resulted in no deaths or injuries. The UK government has now announced its intention to deal with one of these incidents as a terrorist offence. Guess which.
I agree with the writer that this Labour government has once again got its priorities all mangled. Not that Keir Starmer will lose any sleep, but its yet one more reason why this 70 year old lifelong Labour voter will never again be voting for them while he is leader.
